We thought we had quelled the piracy in Balante.We thought wrong.
They must have been regrouping but they hit us back today with a vengeance. Cruisers, fighters, everything they had. The Scoutmaster took a few hits, but nothing I can't fix.
Raven had his canopy popped. Echo and I had to guide him in since his front glass was shattered and he had no HUD.
The life support systems on his fighter kicked in as they should, but we were far from home. His oxygen ran out.
Fortunately we had made it to the station and Echo and I were able to radio in, and Raven's docking computer handled the rest.
He had lost consciousness, but he survived.
He'll be OK by tomorrow. Getting that canopy repaired is as good an excuse as any to get a few hours of sleep and a hot meal.
